Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

At Helios Frontier LLC, we believe that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their abilities. We are committed to providing an inclusive learning experience that meets the needs of all students, including those with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments.

We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to ensure our platform is accessible to people with disabilities.

Conformance Status

We are actively working toward full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance and have implemented the following accessibility features:

• Color contrast meets AA standards (4.5:1 minimum)
• Responsive design works on all devices
• Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality
• Keyboard navigation support for most features
• Screen reader compatibility with ARIA labels

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas of our platform may not be fully accessible. We are aware of the following limitations and are working to address them:

• Drag-and-drop games: Some games rely on drag-and-drop interactions that may not be fully accessible via keyboard. We are implementing keyboard alternatives.
• Interactive maps: Geography games with interactive maps may require mouse interaction. We are adding keyboard navigation and text-based alternatives.
• Canvas-based games: Some games use HTML5 canvas elements that may not be fully accessible to screen readers. We are adding text descriptions and alternatives.
• Color Match game: Currently uses color-only differentiation. We are adding patterns and text labels for color-blind users.
